We’ve begun putting together the robot!

Original bars and cut pins

We’re using a tank-like design for our robot, which involves creating caterpillar tracks to allow it to move. This is after Whoop-Whoop! suffered from a lack of grip last year.

Sawing pins

This involves cutting down 330mm by 2mm metal bars into smaller, 35mm by 2mm pins. Nothing a little sawing can’t handle.

A pin inside a track

Each pin should fit snuggly inside each track, acting as a connector between each pair of tracks. It’s not a difficult task, there are just a lot of pins: 52 in total!
